Have you been to Aruba? and what to do there?

Yes, I was in Aruba in 2006. You need to know there is one plane in and one plane out during the week. The island isn't too large. We stayed in Oranjestad, which is the capital. It's a nice town, with some good shopping, nice hotels and nice places to eat. If you're a gambler, there is a casino. As far as sight-seeing, we went to the butterfly preserve, the Aruba Aloe factory, and the lighthouse. There's no place to play golf, and you swim in the ocean. If you like to snorkel or dive, it's a pretty good place. The north part of the island has some sharks. We also went to the "native market", which really wasn't that impressive. It's an okay place to go, but I wasn't impressed enough to want to return. Maybe that was because it was pretty soon after the girl from the U.S. was murdered, and everyone was kind of skittish.
